Screenshot from Tom Sherwood on Twitter comparing press releases from Robert White. Which press release on new DC curfew law did you read today from CoMem Robert White? Starkly different. Campaign release denounces curfew “racial profiling” of Black youth. No mention of that in his official release. “Let’s be clear. I won’t tolerate violence.”

Donald Trump's ideal Democrat is @mayorbowser.dc.gov - in this case using her to justify slashing local emergency response grants.
“In a short period of time, President Trump has transformed DC from a crime-ridden mess into a beautiful, clean, safe city,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in an email. Jackson emphasized the role federal law enforcement officers have played, in collaboration with local police, to remove “countless dangerous criminals and illegal drugs from the streets,” arrest gang members, and find missing children. “The Trump Administration looks forward to continued coordination with local leaders and encourages other Democrats to follow Mayor Bowser’s lead,” Jackson said in her email.

Feels like not only has @mayorbowser.bsky.social given up on fighting back on Trump, but basically just doing anything that would move the ball forward for DC residents. How is DC behind Glenn Youngkin's Virginia in covid vaccine access? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
At the D.C. Department of Health, officials “expect to expand access” to vaccines, but for now residents must visit their primary care provider or request a prescription to use at a pharmacy, spokesman Dorian Walker said in a statement. Prescriptions for the vaccine are not required in Maryland.

I want to shout out Chris Geidner and others who stood up for Bowser's cave on policing to Trump - they reviewed and signed off and liked her proposals and work. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Last week, as Trump’s complaints about the mayor escalated, Bondi and Wiles met with Bowser at the White House. Soon after, Bowser gave White House officials an executive order to review — which ultimately ordered indefinite coordination between the city and federal law enforcement officials. The president has since changed his tune on Bowser, holding her up as an example of how blue-city mayors should behave. “Everyone at the White House is pleased with Mayor Bowser and the ongoing partnership,” a White House official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to share internal thinking.

First day of school! A great start to the school year in elementary, the oldest still isn't in school yet because @dcpublicschools.bsky.social security theater has hundreds of kids still in line outside his high school an hour after school starts. Nailed it.
Three amazing kids ready for school!

Phil Mendelson has no real objections to racial slurs.
Commanders name change wouldn't poison stadium deal, D.C. Council chair says.' Axios' Cuneyt Dil: "D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson says the Commanders potentially restoring their old name is not an obstacle to approving a stadium deal. "Why it matters: President Trump has threatened to derail the deal if the NFL team doesn't revert to the Washington Redskins — but the issue might not be much of a stumbling block for the council. "Driving the news: Saying he is 'working well' with the Commanders on stadium negotiations, Mendelson told 106.7 The Fan that, 'We're trying to get to an agreement that can lead to a vote as quickly as possible.' "Would a hypothetical name change poison the deal? 'My guess is no,' Mendelson said

I've never seen an auditor's report so blatantly put out that a high-ranking DC official is either lying or incompetent like they just did for MPD Chief Pamela Smith. @mayorbowser.bsky.social
Recommendation #9—The Chief of Police Should Familiarize Herself with the Record in High-Profile Cases It is vital that the Chief of Police, who is ultimately responsible for the discipline imposed on MPD members, be familiar with the facts of high-profile cases such that she can answer the questions asked by members of the community and elected representatives conducting oversight. And yet, Chief Smith stated that she did not review the Final Report of Investigation, the Notices of Proposed Adverse Action, or any materials relating to the trial and convictions of Sutton and Zabavsky. As a result, she was unable to describe the rationale for the MPD discipline in either of two DC Council hearings, or in our interview. An important responsibility for the head of any law enforcement agency is to be familiar with the facts of significant cases and be able to articulate the reasons for her decisions in order to maintain the public’s trust and confidence. Chief Smith failed to do so here. We recommend that she and her successors make it a practice to do so in the future

Actually I think they just screwed it up in the computer system. The sign posts say they are together. The system just has them at separate stops.

A Waymo blocking school drop off and pick up. It's unclear in DC if they are regulated and there can be a complaint. @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social are there any plans for oversight? I saw two drive very dangerously in DuPont the other day.

Police officers destroying the bus lane during the morning commute so they don't have to pay for valet at the Marriott is a reminder of the endemic corruption that's at routine in American policing. Happy Police Week!

A tweet from Muriel Bowser saying Thank you for your leadership, @RepJamesComer . With the passage of your bipartisan legislation, the District will be able to bring this currently blighted property back to life-- sports, jobs, parks and housing. A win for our nation's capital, region and nation #OurRFK

If @mayorbowser.bsky.social is so eager to push people to "be downtown" it feels like the least she could do is shovel the sidewalks surrounding Franklin Park so people can safely.
